"As banks pull back on risk taking across the nation, consumer-loan balances in places like Huntsville, Ala., are rising. In Huntsville, a metropolitan area of 376,000 that is home to many government contractors, borrowing increased 13.2% per household in last year's fourth quarter, compared with the year-earlier period, according to data provided to The Wall Street Journal by Moody's Economy.com and Equifax Inc.
Huntsville's increase was the largest among 207 U.S. metropolitan areas tracked by the two data-gathering firms. Similar-size cities such as McAllen and Brownsville, Texas; Yakima, Wash; Provo, Utah, and Lafayette, La., also saw consumer-loan balances rise by more than 8% year-over-year." -By DAN FITZPATRICK

Harrison Brothers Hardware is Huntsville's oldest operating hardware store, founded in 1879 by brothers James and Daniel Harrison. Following the death of the last Harrison (Daniels son John) in 1983, the Historic Huntsville Foundation purchased the property to carry on the tradition. They have done a fabulous job of preserving the store!
When I first stepped in to Harrison Brothers Hardware, I immediately took in the smells of the old hardwood flooring, enjoying the sounds of the squeaking floors.
Harrison Brothers Hardware is ran by all volunteers. Cliff, one of the 25 volunteers, was on duty that day and happily took the time to show me so many details I would have never noticed. Cliff has been volunteering his time at Harrison Brothers Hardware since 1991.
From nails to cast iron skillets, you will find a bit of everything. They even sell marbles! You will find the store FULL of things, stocked from floor to ceiling, literally. I found a beautiful crisp linen hand towel for myself. There are gorgeous old rolling ladders that reach to the ceiling for the goods nestled up high and a functioning rope elevator that is hand operated.
Harrison Brothers Hardware was a great way to spend my afternoon. Much thanks to Cliff for making it even more enjoyable by giving me such a wonderful tour! Take the family and experience it for yourself. (There is a toy section also:)
Harrison Brothers is open Weekdays from 9-5 and Saturdays 10-4. They are located at 124 South Side Square, in downtown Huntsville. They are located directly across the street from the Courthouse. You can reach them by calling 256-536-3631.
